What you describe (lack of sufficient heating) is a "habitability" defect in your rental property.

Your rights as a tenant for habitability defects vary widely by state. To determine your specific rights for your state, see this link: http://www.landlord.com/state-habitability-statutes-by-state.htm it provides a good summary of the law for each state, gives you the proper statutory authority, and usually will have a link or resource to additional help for tenants.
